A RUSH FOR LAND.
An Avaricious Railroad Company
OverreacheS Itself.

CHICAGO, Aug T.-A Cairo, ILL.,, special
says: Southwestern Missouri is in frenzy
of excitement over the railroad land ques-
ton, which has developed some remarkable
features Many years ago a man named
Miller, living in Blodgett, Mo-, purchased
a large plot of land from the Iron Noun
tain railroad, which he occupied without
molestation for long period. For some
reason not known 60 the public, the railroad
people endeavored in various ways
to rid themselves of Miller, finally
issuing an order of election. Miller at
last was induced to write President Cleve-
land explaining fully the circumstances by
which he came into possession of the prop
erty An answer was received in due time
advising Miller to retain possession of the
lands at all hazards, and stating further,
that by reason of the failure OF the railroad
company to keep certain contracts
with the government they had forfeited all
right and title TO them, and that the entire
tracks in possession of the railroad company
were subject TO registration, and occupa-
ton by bona fide settlers the same as any
other government lands. The news spread
like prairie fire, and it is said settlers are
rushing into Southwestern Missouri, and
squatting on the finest lands in the State.
There are thousands of acres of land under
this statement of the case which will be
taken possession of by immigrants"

MILLEDGEvILLE, Aug. 27.-The investi-

TRAIN wRECKERs FoILED.
A Piece of Iron Wedged Between the
Tracks on Bridge.

CHICAGO, Aug. pa special to the
Ne,os from Fairmount, H., says; Wabash
detectives succeeded until yesterday in keep
ing quiet an attempt at train wreclSing near
Danville last Wednesday morning. The
bridge crossing Vermillion river is 600 feet
long and over 100 feet high, and the ap-
proach from the west is down a heavy
grade through a deep cut. The Waterman
employed to examine the bridge in attend
ing to his duties Wednesday morning, just
before the east bound fast passenger train
was due, discovered a piece of
railroad iron firmly placed between
two ties in such manner
as would have wrecked the first train pass
ing over. 1t would have been a ghastly
wreck, throwing the train, filed with pas
sengers down the embankment into the
river, 100 feet below. After he removed the
obstruction he heard a pistol shot fred be-
low the bridge, which is supposed to have
been the signal. Two suspicious looking
men had been seen around the bridge during
the night but no trace of them could af-
terward be foundn

PROCLAMATION DENOUNCED.
A Monster Mass Meeting Held in
Trafalgar Square.


LONDON, Aug. 27.-Au the Conservatives,
including Lord Randolph Churchill, sup
ported the government in last nights vote
as did Lord Harrington and Messrs. Bright
and Russell The bulk of the Unionists
voted with the Gladstonians and Parnellites
Messrs. Joseph and Richard Chamberlain,
Ceilings, Williams of Birmingham, and
Hingley and Buchall also voted with the
minority. During the evening Mr.. Bright
had short talk with Mr. Gladstone
Nine Liberal Unionists supported Mr.
Gladstone, and seventeen other members of
the party were absent and impaired.
MIR. Gladstone has gone to Hawarden.
Lord harrington, in letter defining his
political position, denies that he regards
home rule as practically won. The depres-
sion which seems to exist among the Lib
eral- Unionists, he declares, is caused chiefly
by the impression which obtains in some
quarters that Mr.. Gladstone has made
larger concessions than have really been
made, and he knows Of no reason why the
Unionists should relax their efforts.
The Standard says: 1T is well that it
should be known throughout the land that
the government were resolved to proclaim
the national league, though Lord Harting-
ton and his party would have preferred a
different course, and that the government
had not thereby lost his support or CON
f1dence, but had established fresh claim to
his respect"
A MASS MEETING.
Under the auspices of the Liberal League
and the Radical and Irish Temperance
Clubs, a procession containing 10000 men,
marched to Trafalgar Square tonight to
listen to speeches in denunciation of the
governments action against the Irish Ma
tional League. Four platforms had
been erected, and from these
four speakers addressed the multitude
simultaneously. Among the orators were
Messrs. Biggar, Nolan, Quinn and Shirley
members of Parliament, and the Socialist
leader Morris. A resolution denouncing the
proclamation of the league was carried by
acclamation. Large bodies of police were
present, but the crowd was perfectly orderly.
SUMMONED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
DUBLIN, Aug. 27.-The government have
summoned John Vaudeville, chairman of
the Mitchelstown Board of Poor Law Guar
dians, for making a speech melting to vio-
lence on the occasion of William OBrfens
visit to Mitchelstown. Mr.. Vaudeville
leads the plan of campaign movement in
county Cork. He is a nephew of Col.
O'Mahoney, the late Fenian leader in
America. 1t is expected that Mr.. Condor,
member of Parliament for last Tipperary,
will be prosecuted simultaneously with
Messrs Vaudeville and O'Brien
Freenlan's Journal commenting on the
defeat of Mr.. Gladstone's motion says: 'The
division in the House of Commons last night
will undoubtedly encourage the government
to carry on the warfare, and if it does : e
anticipate troublesome times for them. The
people were never better prepared to stub
bornly resist tyranny than they are at the
present time.n

She Will 90 10 Ja1l FOR Five ears IN
stead of Being Hanged.
CHICAGO, Aug PA special to the
Times, from Columbia, S. c., says: "Gov.
Richardson has commuted the sentence of
Oxey Cherry, the 12-year old girl convicted
of murder and sentenced 20 be hanged in
September, to Imprisonment In the peniten-
tiary for five years. The Governor received
a large number of communications from
the North and Northwest pleading for mercy
for the child and asking that he would al
low no bloody stain TO be put upon South
Carolina and the United States
by the hanging of an infant.
He made a thorough examination of
the case and could find nothing but evidence
of premeditated murder. The girl was con-
victed of killing a 2-year-old child by ad-
ministering a dose of concentrated I've.
The Governor appealed to the judge who
passed sentence for his Recommendation.
The judge replied that the case of murder
had been made out, but that on account of
the tender age of the girl he thought she
should not be hanged but imprisoned for a
term of years. "
